"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
If those of you in the Cambridge/Somerville area heard the wailings of true love lost in the air, don't worry - it was just my friend Christine reacting to her imaginary boyfriend Kason Gabbard being traded to Texas for Eric Gagne. Their imaginary relationship had its problems, mind you (such as his nasty chew habit). But all in all, I really thought those two kids were going to make it work. Now, the odds are against them. You know how hard long distance imaginary relationships are.
As for me, I think Gagne is a good move with an eye toward the playoffs which always seem to feature close games decided by the bullpens. I wish they had picked up a fourth outfielder with some pop, as Wily Mo just ain't cutting it for me anymore.
Or maybe he should just start taking some steroids. Steroids for Wily Mo!

Dude, eff Gagne. Kevin Garnett walked through that door.
Looks like Papi finally got on those steroids.
He had some steroids for breakfast.
How's Garnett's OPS?
I love the Gagne deal. Trading prospects to a money-dumping team for a damaged free-agent-to-be who represents a slight upgrade at a position you're already the best in the league at, sounds like another team in the AL East. If I ever have to hear another Sox fan sing me a fucking folk song about the purity of your franchise, I'll beat the New Hampshire out of them.
And I can't wait for all the rabidly loyal Celts fans to reemerge at the Fleet Center after ten years of complete disinterest. Best sports city in the world!

I can't hear you from all the way back there. You must be 7 games back or so.
Don't worry - it's only August.
Cue the classic Vinny "I've already given up on the Yankees this year" response. Connecticut fans are the best in the world!
This year's response is "I hate this Yankees' team, I wish they'd blow it up and restock," and if your Fenway-clay-and-fertilizer addled mind will recall, all those years I gave up on them, they blew it horribly. HORRIBLY (ie., didn't win the Series).
I also don't mind being judged an inferior fan by a Sox fan, as it is very similar to being judged a lukewarm Muslim by a screaming, spittle-mouthed Palestinian who can neither drive nor pronounce his R's.
Vinny's so sexy when he's mad.
Bah!
